Welcome to the Geography and Earth Science Department
The discipline of Geography draws upon concepts found in both the natural and social sciences, and helps foster a better understanding of associations between humans and the physical environment in which they inhabit on local, regional, and global scales.
Since our department founding in 1909, our mission has focused on promoting geographical awareness and environmental literacy through classroom activities, research projects, and outreach programs. Our geography students have the option in choosing from over 40 courses, with a wide variety of topics ranging from cultural to physical to techniques. In addition to stimulating classroom discussions led by our distinguished faculty, students gain extensive hands-on experience using the latest GIS and remote sensing software, GPS, and many other geographic and earth science tools. We also boast extensive study abroad and internship opportunities for students to gain even further hands-on experience.
Opportunities abound for student projects, research, and exploration here, as within one mile of campus you'll find towering limestone bluffs, a 900 acre urban wetland, and the Mississippi River, all with miles of easily accessible hiking trails. Geography also means field trips. Our faculty and staff frequently offer opportunities to explore our own unique North American geography or lead overseas explorations which allow our students to gain valuable first-hand experience and knowledge of other cultures and environments.
Is worldwide exploration and study of interest to you? Do you want to obtain the necessary skills to provide you for an exciting and rewarding career? Do you want to make a difference? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the UWL Geography and Earth Science department is the place for you. Come join us and explore your world.
Congratulations GIS Poster Competition Winners!
The Geography and Earth Science Department hosted its first GIS Poster Competition on Friday, December 6th in the Cartwright Center. Over 20 students from Dr. Gargi Chaudhuri's GIS courses participated in the competition. Winners from the entry level competition (enrolled in Geography 385: Introduction to GIS) were Taylor Boardman and Ryan Sands. Winners from the advanced level competition (enrolled in Geography 485: Advanced GIS) were Rachel Wozniak and Spencer Kawell. Honorable mention awards went to Kerrie Hauser (advanced level) and Michael Keller (entry level). Each of the four winners will receive a $100 check! Congratulations to everyone who participated!

When the credit window suddenly slammed shut last fall, the New York Times Company found itself with a four-hundred-million-dollar line of financing scheduled to expire in May, and no obvious way to raise the money. Advertising revenue at the Times was tumbling, as it was at every American newspaper, and the company was servicing $1.1 billion in debt, which was more than the business was worth. Standard & Poor's had reduced the company's credit rating to below investment-grade status, making it difficult for the paper to secure new financing. While Times reporters were chronicling the implosion of some of the country's most significant brokerages, banks, mortgage lenders, and insurance companies, their own institution seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
In October, 2008, Chris Wood, a representative of SunTrust, an Atlanta bank that had loaned about eighty million dollars to the Times, approached Inbursa, a bank in Mexico City that belongs to Carlos Slim Helú, a Mexican businessman who is sometimes ranked as the richest man in the world. A month earlier, Slim had taken a substantial position in the Times Company. Wood asked Slim if he would lend the company two hundred million dollars. Discussions went on until Thanksgiving, when an informal agreement was reached. The terms were onerous: the loan was for six years, at an interest rate of fourteen per cent—essentially, the going rate for a junk bond—and it came with limitations on incurring further debt. But the negotiations hadn't focussed on the interest rate; instead, they had centered on Slim's demand for millions of dollars in stock-purchase warrants, which could dramatically increase his ownership stake in the company. The Times Company agreed to award Slim warrants on 15.9 million shares if he raised the loan amount to two hundred and fifty million dollars. The deal was finally signed in January. Slim became the company's largest creditor and was poised to become one of its largest stockholders—after members of the Ochs-Sulzberger clan, which has controlled the Times since 1896.
A Times correspondent who covered Mexico for the paper was stunned when he heard that the company had been bailed out by a man he considered an exemplar of Mexico's crony capitalism. "Slim is the consummate monopolist," the reporter said. "Does being embroiled in a business culture of back-scratching and unseen forces make him a great partner for the Times? I don't think so."
In modern history, no one has dominated a major economy as overwhelmingly as Carlos Slim does that of Mexico—a country of a hundred and ten million citizens, in which the per-capita income is little more than ten thousand dollars. In August, 2007, Eduardo Porter, a member of the Times editorial board, wrote on the Op-Ed page, "Growing up in Mexico City, I always knew Mexico was an unjust country—a place where small coteries of the privileged control all power and wealth while half the population lives in poverty. But it never occurred to me that Mexico would have billionaires." Porter was referring to a report in Forbes that listed, among the world's nine hundred and forty-six billionaires, ten Mexicans, including Slim, and to an article in Fortune that named him the world's richest man, worth, at the time, fifty-nine billion dollars—equivalent to five per cent of Mexico's total annual production of goods and services. Comparing Slim to the robber barons of America's Gilded Age, Porter observed, "It takes about nine of the captains of industry and finance of the 19th and early 20th centuries"—he listed John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John J. Astor, Andrew Carnegie, Alexander Stewart, Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Jay Gould, and Marshall Field—"to replicate the footprint that Mr. Slim has left on Mexico."
Slim and his heirs control more than two hundred companies; those which are publicly traded in Mexico account for about forty per cent of the country's main stock-market index. Nearly every day, nearly every Mexican contributes something to the Slim cash box. Slim is also one of Mexico's largest private employers. He owns Sanborns, which is both the major retail outlet in the country and its largest restaurant chain. His portfolio contains Inbursa, one of Mexico's most prominent banks; Volaris, an airline; a mining company; the Mexican branch of Sears; construction and insurance companies; a financial group; five hotels; a bottling company; a cigarette manufacturer; and much valuable real estate. Any of these enterprises would have made Carlos Slim a wealthy man, but the foundation of his empire is the telecommunications company Telmex, which he acquired in 1990, when Mexico began privatizing its national industries. Ten years later, Slim spun off a cell-phone business, América Móvil, which is now the third-largest company in Latin America.
"When Carlos Slim started climbing on the Forbes list, I began doing my own math," Eduardo García, a publisher in Mexico City, told me. In 2005, when Forbes ranked Slim as the world's fourth-richest man, García—who writes a column called "Slim Watch" in Sentido Común, an online magazine he edits— was able to find ten billion dollars more in assets than Forbes had reported. In March, 2007, García declared that Slim had moved into first place, ahead of Bill Gates by a billion dollars. Reuters ran a news item about Slim being the world's richest man, and the Wall Street Journal covered the story. (According to Forbes, Slim is now third, behind Gates and Warren Buffett, as the worth of all three men has diminished. Forbes calculates that Slim is currently worth thirty-five billion dollars, five billion less than Gates.)

It did not describe the threats and said nothing abnormal was found.
The airline said on its official microblogging site that the planes were to take off from Lhasa and Nanchang.
The threats came a day after a China Southern Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Gansu province's Lanzhou city after it received a false terror threat. Chinese police detained a man suspected of making the threat. The plane had departed from Urumqi, the capital of the restive Xinjiang region.
The incidents follow a hoax in August that grounded a Shenzhen Airlines flight. Police said the suspect in that case confessed to making up the threat to stop a creditor on board the plane from collecting his debt, official media reported.
Chinese media have reported at least four other incidents this year in which people fabricated threats—including bomb threats—against air travel for reasons such as blackmail, saving a romantic relationship, catching a flight or creating excitement.

The Pennsylvania state Health Department is trying to stop Montgomery County from issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples.
The department filed a lawsuit Tuesday against D. Bruce Hanes, the man who has been granting them.
Very soon after Gov. Tom Corbett's administration moved in court to stop Montgomery County from issuing the licenses to gay couples, the county responded in defiance, saying it will keep issuing those licenses.
So the gay marriage battle is joined in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Governor, through his Department of Health, is asking a judge to order the clerk of the Orphans Court to issue marriage licenses to one man and one woman, as marriage is defined in Pennsylvania law.
The state's court filing says the clerk must "cease and desist immediately from issuing marriage licenses to individuals of the same gender in violation of the law."
But the clerk is issuing licenses based on Attorney General Kathleen Kane's belief that the law is unconstitutional, and she won't defend it in court.
Montgomery County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on July 23.
By Friday, the county issued 26 marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Corbett, who was in the Philadelphia area Tuesday, argued state law must be enforced.
"The law is still the law in Pennsylvania," the governor said. "It has not been overturned by any ruling of the Supreme Court and, until such time the court overturns the law, it has to be enforced."
Corbett argued that if voters want the marriage law changed, the legislature should change it.
Asked if he'd sign a bill allowing same sex couples to marry, the governor says he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Again, the Montgomery County solicitor issued a statement saying, "While it comes as no surprise that the Corbett Administration has filed an action seeking to enjoin marriage equality in Montgomery County, the petition filed today in Commonwealth Court by the state Department of Health has serious flaws."
Montgomery County Solicitor Ray McGarry added, "Montgomery County will be filing a response shortly. In the meantime, the Register of Wills office will continue to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples."
READ MORE: State's Petition For_Review_Seeking_Writ_Of_Mandamus
We spoke with State Senator Daylin Leach at one of his campaign offices about the issue.
He's a registered officiant, chair of the Lesbian Gay Bi-sexual Transgender Caucus, and sponsor of a marriage equality bill.
He married a Montco couple Monday.
He thinks the lawsuit will actually push Pennsylvania towards legalizing gay marriage.
"It will hopefully bring closer the day that this law is put into the ash heap of history, along with a lot of other laws that prohibited interracial marriage and were otherwise discriminatory. It's time that everyone has the opportunity to marry the person they care about," Senator Daylin Leach. "I actually look forward to a court finally ruling that Pennsylvania's antiquated and discriminatory marriage law is unconstitutional."
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Hate UML?Draw sequence diagrams in seconds.
There are plenty of places you can go if you just want to put up some static web pages for free, or very low cost. But costs go up very quickly if you need to do any more than that, or if you get spikes in traffic. Sometimes you need complete control over the server, and don't want to pay $20 to $40 a month for a VPS. In this article, I'll describe step by step how to set up a home web server using Ubuntu, capable of handling modest spikes in traffic.
There are several things you need:
Many large internet providers forbid running any servers in their usage agreement. They might not actually check for a long time, but it's no fun to have your Internet cut off without warning after months with no problems. You can only do this if you are lucky enough to find an ISP that allows servers. In Canada, try Teksavvy.
You will want as high an uplink speed as you can get. Unless your website is extremely popular, bandwidth caps will not be an issue, but be aware of what they are.
Over your home internet connection, traffic will be naturally smoothed by the low uplink bandwidth. Incoming requests will be queued and served in order, not all at once. CPU speed is not going to be an issue, and a one GHz machine is plenty of power. Although this blog's web server has only 512 MB of memory, I recommend at least 1 GB of RAM.
Your router will also be an important part of the system, but quality varies. I have a Linksys WRT54GL. I downloaded and installed dd-wrt on it. The new firmware unlocks a lot of hidden features, including dynamic DNS updating. However, this is not strictly necessary, because your linux system can handle this step just as easily.
You can get a domain name for 10 to 15 dollars. Try DomainsAtCost or GoDaddy. After you buy one from a registrar, you will get an account with them. After logging in, you can renew the domain name. But the most important priviledge is to be able to set the name server. That will have to wait until the next step...
A few months after getting your domain name you will start getting emails from companies claiming they have registered it in another country, and offering to sell it back to you. You can safely ignore these scams.
Because your IP address will often change, you will need a dynamic DNS updating service. DynDns.com provides very good service, with updates taking effect within seconds. However, they do charge a fee. ZoneEdit provides a free service for up to five domains, although updates can take several minutes to propagate.
After signing up with a dynamic DNS updating service, you will get:
sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server php5 apache2 php5-mysql ddclient
You will be prompted several times for your mysql root password. This is not the same as your linux root password. As long as you are behind a firewall, it is okay to press enter and leave it blank.
Now check that your web server works using a web browser browsing to http://localhost. Apache should show a default page telling you that it works.
Unfortunately, the version of ddclient that you can install on Ubuntu 9.04 (and most possibly later ones) is screwed up. Lets fix it.
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ddclient/ddclient-3.8.0.tar.gz tar xvzf ddclient-3.8.0.tar.gz sudo cp ddclient-3.8.0/ddclient /usr/sbin/ddclient sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ddclient /etc/rc2.d/S99ddclient
Edit /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf. If you use zoneedit, the file should look like this. Replace username and password and domain with your true values.
protocol=zoneedit1 use=web server=dynamic.zoneedit.com login=yourlogin password='yourpassword' yourdomain.com
Now erase the ddclient cache and restart it.
sudo rm /var/cache/ddclient/* sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient stop sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient start
After a few minutes you should be able to get to your web server by entering your domain name. If things aren't working, running 'sudo ddclient --verbose' will help you figure out what it's doing.
The KeepAlive setting keeps your server busy for a few seconds after a page is served, allowing clients to download images without starting a new connection. The default setting is far too long, and it would cause your server to choke under heavy load. Set KeepAliveTimeout to 1 or 2 seconds.
The MaxClients setting determines how many connections your web server can handle at one time. Each connection takes around 5 megabytes of unshared RAM, so you will have to set this value taking into account the amount of RAM on your machine, while leaving room for other system processes. For 1 GB, a nice safe value is 130, but your mileage may vary. If your server becomes unresponsive, reboot it and lower this number.
After any change to server settings, use "sudo apache2ctl restart" to safely restart everything. Your users won't notice a thing.
Type 'sudo a2enmod deflate' and restart apache to allow your HTML, scripts, and css files to be transmitted compressed.
If you use common Javascript libraries, use the Google hosted versions of them.
Include all your own CSS and Javascript in the same file as your HTML, so that only one page needs to be requested. During times of heavy load, 99.9% of your visitors only load a single page of your web site anyway, so it makes no sense to split things up into different files.

How To Verify the Data In Your LTE Uplink Signal
Webcast - recorded | Where & When
The construction of the LTE uplink signal is not as complex as its downlink counterpart, but it takes different forms depending on the job the signal has to perform, from channel access to channel sounding, link control and data transfer. Analyzing the uplink signal by itself is difficult because, unlike the downlink, it does not include information to describe how it is constructed. This presentation, which is a companion to a previous Webcast describing the downlink signal, shows in detail how some of the most important uplink signals and messages are built up, and how to verify step by step whether the signal you are dealing with is constructed according to the 3GPP Release 8 standard. This Webcast makes extensive use of the 89600 Vector Signal Analysis software application to show the link between uplink messages and the actual RF signals they are sent in.
Who should view this webcast:
- Baseband and RF Engineers involved in the development, verification and testing of the LTE eNodeB or the UE
- Systems & Integration engineers involved in FDD or TDD LTE development
- Engineering Managers of teams developing or integrating LTE Femtocells, base stations and mobiles - Engineers who have or are transferring from WiMAX to LTE development work
- All existing users of 89600 VSA & LTE Signal Studio

Our favorite place to go out to eat! My family basically views this place as a source of comfort food. The guacamole, salsa and queso dip are the best I've ever had at any Mexican place. I don't typically eat meat, but for that reason I can say that they have a ton of vegetarian options that are delicious; I never feel like I'm missing out! The service, atmosphere and location can't be beat.
Best Mexican food in triangle! – I love it here and will go any chance I get. You can't really go wrong. Wonderful staff, great salsas, amazing shredded beef, shredded chicken, and pico de gallo. The only thing I wish they had was a salsa bar like the one in Chapel Hill. I've never had a bad experience here.
Bad service and below par food – Last night we went to Bandido's to have a relaxing family evening but turned out to be anything but from the time we were seated. We should have been warned by the fact it was a Friday evening but only 4 other tables were seated. Our waitress was rude and snippy to us and the other staff. We were snapped at several times by the waitress, our food was randomly served over a 20 minute period (instead of brought out at once so the party could eat together) and we did not get much sympathy from the manager. We will not be stepping foot back in this restaurant with so many others to choose from in Hillsborough.
Outstanding! Can't eat here enough! – Every weekend, we try to resist Banditos. So far we are losing that battle. Everything we have tried here is delicious. Anything with the shredded chicken in it is great! The portions are huge and the ingredients are always fresh. Do we even need to comment on how good the salsa is? Even when the house is packed, the service is great! They are always friendly and timely. Great place to eat at!

Acer Targets Android Netbooks for Late Summer
Notebook maker Acer is of the opinion that Android will be spreading its wings in the netbook market over the next two years.
The first Aspire with Android should appear on the market in the third quarter of 2009. More than that Acer Inc. won't reveal, say, as to pricing or launch locations. But at a Computex Taipei press conference, it did slip out that Intel's Atom platform would be the hardware basis of choice.
Acer plans for Android to be the future alternative to Windows for most of its new netbooks. The Acer Group, which was formed in 1976 as Multitech in Taiwan, is optimistic about the market force of the open source Google platform. "Acer believes the Android operating system will contribute significantly to the worldwide netbook market growth," they said in their press release, "Acer announces Android netbook."
Android opened its eyes to the world in November 2007 and has been steadily conquering the mobile market ever since. Android netbooks have been appearing just more recently, the new Skytone out of China as an example. Among manufacturers lately joining the Android bandwagon are MIPS Technologies, Nvidia, and Wind River for Qualcomm's Snapdragon and devices for Kyocera Wireless (see recent news about Wind River).
The larger market, however, has been in mobile phones. Along with Nokia's Symbian Foundation of mobile network device collaborators and the LiPS-and-LiMO consortium of mobile phone giants, the Open Handset Alliance and HTC (with its various partnerships) have been contributing to bringing Android to the mass market. As an example, T-Mobile is expecting its next G1 release in early summer.

Nats shutout Phillies, Complete Series Sweep
When you need wins, they are never more satisfying than coming against the Philadelphia Phillies. the Phillies are exactly what was needed for these Nats.
The Washington Nationals have swept a three game series of the Phillies with a 6-0 shutout and a masterful performance from Stephen Strasburg. Strasburg threw a complete game shutout, allowing just 4 hits and fanning 10 Phillies to lead the Nats to a big win. Strasburg faced 29 Phillies at the plate. He lowered his season ERA to 2.83. It was Strasburg's 10th career game in which he ended with double digit strikeouts. It only took him 82 pitches on the day.
Jayson Werth continued to haunt his former team, singling in the first run in the first inning to give Strasburg and the Nats an early 1-0 lead. Werth finished the day going 3-4 with a run and an RBI. He finished the series collecting 7 hits in 12 plate appearances and drove in 4 runs and scored 5 runs.
Wilson Ramos and Denard Span added RBI singles in the fourth inning to give the Nats a 3-0 lead. Ramos grounded into a fielders choice in the fifth inning that resulted in a throwing error which scored Werth and Ian Desmond. Steve Lombardozzi knocked in the final run in the same inning with an RBI single.
Span, Werth, Desmond, Ramos, and Lombardozzi each collected a multi hit game to lead the Nats 13 hit onslaught. The Nats will certainly be sad to see the Phillies leave, as they hammered Phillies pitching for 36 hits and 23 runs this weekend.
The Nats are off tomorrow and then begin a three game series against the SF Giants before heading to Atlanta for a big three game series with the NL East division leader.
Nats Streak
* The Nationals have won THREE straight games.
* Denard Span extended his hitting streak to THREE games.
* Ryan Zimmerman extended his hitting streak to THREE games.
* Jayson Werth extended his hitting streak to FOUR games and his run scoring streak to FOUR games.
* Ian Desmond extended his hitting streak to THREE games.
* Wilson Ramos extended his hitting streak to THREE games.
